Market Trends: Dips, Seasonings and Spice Rubs Are In Demand!

Introduction

In "Market Trends", we regularly share some of the latest trends that we're noticing in the gift, gift basket and gourmet food industries.  We are very fortunate that with our attendance at innumerable Gourmet Food and Gift Basket Industry trade Shows, our daily online monitoring of the gourmet food and gift basket industries, our constant interaction with our gourmet food and gift basket suppliers, and our own travels to many different parts of North America and the rest of the world, we are able to (at least somewhat!) stay abreast of the latest trends in gourmet foods and gift basket supplies industries.  (Truthfully, we muchly enjoy following when "Experts from around the world" share some intriguing insight into "what's hot and what's not", so its really not hard for us to do!)   We selectively gather these commentaries from a wide variety of sources and pass them on to you - our valued Wholesale Partners.  We hope that you find them to be as interesting and helpful in running your gourmet food or gift basket business as we do!
